My husband and I have been doing Pilates and yoga for 15 years in Los Angeles. We have been in…read moreParis for 6 weeks and have been attending yoga classes w/Letitia and private Pilates sessions w/Isabel and Dominic. They communicate in English as our French is insufficient. We have attended the 7:30 and 8 am yoga class which have not had more than 3 people in it -apparently the French are not early morning practitioners. The class is labeled ashtanga. Letitia is gentle and provides individualized adjustments. The class is gentle but provides a full body work out. Her chanting is beautiful and worth the class by itself. The Pilates/feldenkrais/Franklin body work has been excellent. Isabel and Dominic are excellent at observing your body and providing specific instructions tailored to you to improve the efficacy of your practice, strengthening your particular areas of weakness. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in strengthening their body with efficient safe instruction. The facility is clean, pleasant and filled with a lot of toys used for various types of body work. The reformers in Pilates room have also just been upgraded. There is also a new Cadillac. Other classes also look cool but we are only here for six weeks so have to make time for culture and restaurants too!

This is some of the best yoga I've experienced in 20 years, in various cities and studios all over…read morethe world. I'm visiting Paris for a month, and was looking for someplace to work out the kinks from the long trip and jet lag. I'm so glad I came upon this little yoga studio. The instructors are bilingual so the class happens in a mix of French and English, if there is anyone in the room who needs English. They are very knowledgeable and really dedicated to making sure you get the most out of your practice, taking the time and making the effort to help you get into the postures correctly and gently encouraging you to take it up a notch if you can. In the classes I attended, there were some "regulars" who were senior citizens managing to do things with their body that I certainly can't do, and I'm relatively fit. I wish I lived here so that I could pursue my practice at this studio.
